    I searched for "UK umbrella company" and one of the adwords results at the top is offering me up to 92% take home. Put my rate into their calculator and apparently I can take home over 90% of my rate.

    All this from a company that was only incorporated in the middle of 2014 and has never filed any accounts - but they do put their company number on the website, which is rare.

    What could possibly go wrong?
